VELIA BUTZ

Former First Lady, Golden Gate University

Velia Butz was the "first lady" of Golden Gate University for more than 22 years,
while her husband, Otto W. Butz, served as GGU's president. During President Emeritus
Otto Butz's time in office, Mrs. Butz was a dedicated champion of the university.
They were married for 41 years, residing in Sausalito since 1965. Since President
Emeritus Butz's passing, she continues to support GGU.

Mrs. Butz was a pharmacist licensed to practice both in New Jersey and California.
She obtained her degree from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Sciences, now
known as the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, the oldest college of pharmacy
in the United States.

Together with her husband, she wrote Voyage of Discovery: The History of Golden Gate
University from 1970-1992. It tells the story of recognizing emerging needs of the
public and Otto Butz's innovations in developing a plan for growth of GGU.

"Supporting GGU was not an activity that required deep contemplation or Livingston,
California much hesitancy," said Mrs. Butz. "This institution provided its graduates
with the means to successfully achieve their goals, and they should be encouraged
to provide others with the means to do the same. According to my husband, Otto, the
definition of a life well lived always included the concept of helping others."
